abstract paintingWith brian atyeo

About The InstructorBRIAN ATYEO, CSPWC, OSA, is a signature member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Ontario Society of Artists. He began his career as a commercial illustrator/designer and in 1980 he turned his full attention to painting and teaching. Brian’s artworks are bold, contemporary impressions of a wide range of subjects, from landscapes to florals, interiors and musicians, imbued with his distinctive sense of color, strong composition and abstraction. His teaching is known for helping artists achieve a better understanding of intent, and a design process, which brings a greater clarity to their paintings. He is represented by Harbour Gallery in Ontario, and Mountain Galleries in Jasper, Banff and Whistler.

Workshop DescriptionABSTRACT PAINTING is for artists who have some experience with acrylic and with abstraction. These four days of abstract painting will look at the use of subject driven abstraction (2 days) and another form of abstraction – Non-Objective, that deals with the absence of subject (2 days). Abstraction using subject will require you to bring reference material (sketches/photos) to which we will apply abstract principles (distortion-multiple perspectives), and build an image that suggests the subject. The non-objective time will look at creating - then developing opportunities that do not present a subject in the finished painting. This is done through “extreme” use of paint and collage, that produces powerful paintings. Repeated applications of this process can achieve dramatic paintings that are a bold expression of the artist’s true self. Each day Brian will demo followed by time to paint, with his generous assistance, as we broaden our range of techniques and encourage creativity and freedom of style. Includes group critiques, and daily demos.

This workshop will be held at the Ramsay Community Centre, located at 1136 - 8 Street SE.
